"The pro you referred to me, Robert, was excellent on so many levels. He got 2 heavy sliding closet doors back into working order, put new door knobs into 2 of my homes entry doors, fixed my problematic kitchen sink, and installed a new spigot system and pipes for my bathroom sink. All his work was of high calibre. Robert himself was fully professional, patient, and polite. I also found his prices to be more than fair. I fully plan to have him back for other projects this spring (power washing my house and staining my deck)."
"We have hired Greg for both home and business repairs. In our home, Greg and his team painted the entire interior of our home. We appreciate his detailed work, particularly in prepping our plaster walls in order to work out any imperfections. We also hired Greg to repair a ceiling leak, replace a wood deck, install a railing in our basement, and several other smaller projects. All were performed with the same attentiveness to detail. Furthermore, he and his crew cleaned up nicely at the end of each day. Last and not least, Greg is responsive to calls. In fact a couple weeks ago I called him late in the evening for an emergency job in our business, and he texted back first thing in the morning and stopped by to help me before going to his first appointment. Overall, Greg is a trustworthy and skilled craftsman, who we strongly recommend."
"I recently hired Diamond Interiors to remodel my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, their team was professional, detail-oriented, and truly committed to delivering top-quality work. Every step of the project was handled with care, clear communication, and craftsmanship that exceeded my expectations. The transformation of my home is incredible—beautiful finishes, clean lines, and thoughtful touches throughout. They stayed on schedule, kept the workspace tidy, and made the entire process stress-free. It’s rare to find a contractor who combines skill, reliability, and pride in their work the way Diamond Interiors does. I highly recommend them to anyone considering a remodel. Outstanding job—thank you, Diamond Interiors! From Dan W."
"I can only say great things about JA Drywall. We had quite a complicated chimney repair. From the beginning of the process, this company stood out from all the others. Most companies did not return my calls. One did respond but never showed up to start work. The JA Drywall owner came to our initial appointment on time, evaluated the job and gave us a reasonable and fair estimate. The work crew then came on time and worked really hard for two days to repair the chimney. At each stage they kept us informed of progress. They did a wonderful job, kept the site clean and tidied up once job completed. On top of their excellent work, they are a team of friendly and courteous workers, who also took care of a few other things that needed attention. I would recommend this company to all who are looking for quality work by a friendly team at a reasonable price."
"Pete called and ask what the problem is. he knew right away how to make repairs to my gutter, that was hanging off of my roof. He came with the special brackets, repaired and cleaned the gutter then cleaned the remaining gutters. Pete is coming back for repairs that i know i can trust him with."
This depends on the furniture. It’s certainly fine for wood, metal, or composite materials to get wet. The same cannot be said for affiliated cushions and coverings. Many of these adjacent items claim to be water-resistant, but poorly-made accessories take longer to dry, leaving plenty of time for mold to grow. Keep an eye on how your furniture stands up to rain before going in with a pressure washer.
If you don’t want to purchase furniture sliders, there are several household items that can be used as makeshift sliders. Thick towels or blankets placed under furniture legs can reduce friction and make it easier to slide the furniture without causing damage to the floor. Additionally, plastic or paper plates can be placed under each leg for easy sliding. You can also cut up pieces of a cardboard box to slide beneath the legs of the furniture.
It’s possible to repair damaged leather as long as the damage is not too severe. Professional leather repair specialists can fill, smooth, and refinish damage like scratches, cracks, and other damage by color matching the rest of the leather. Leather repair pros can evaluate the damage and recommend a plan for repair or replacement. If the leather is on furniture or another item that’s difficult or impossible to replace, repair is the best option, even if the repair does not match perfectly.
Yes, in most cases it’s a good idea to wrap furniture in plastic to protect it from dirt, dust, and damage during storage. However, natural and porous materials such as wood or leather should have breathable fabric covers to prevent moisture damage from condensation. Either way, it’s always important to ensure proper ventilation to prevent moisture buildup, especially in humid climates.
Careful measurement is crucial—measure multiple times and account for hardware thickness, seasonal wood movement, and clearance requirements. Test-fit components before final assembly, and consider building one drawer as a prototype before cutting materials for multiple units.
